Absolutely agree! I have always tasted the prepared apples (whatever variety they may be) before adding sugar and spices. The sweeter they taste, the less sugar goes into the filling. Also, I don't always have enough cash in the budget for treats; I am so grateful for my local food pantry... I take all of their unwanted fruits home to make pies, fruit butters, etc. I then share the love with friends and neighbors.
